Internship

So things are starting to come together for Josiah's internship. So pray, pray, pray everything goes through. He would start in January and it would end in July. It is perfect because it is with our church. So we are pretty excited that the only think holding Josiah back from his degree is about to be accomplished!
In other news we are going to Maine in Jan :)  to spend christmas with my family! Well sorta Christmas since it is Jan lol. Super excited and of course they are as well. Especially to see our little bundle of joy, who unfortunately isn't so little anymore. Well that is all for now love you all :)

Oh Halloween

So Josiah and I decided that we do not much care for Halloween. Too much creepy stuff and people dressing way too inappropriately. But I do want to dress Haddie up cuz well I do. We wanted her to be a mouse but we were not able to find everything we wanted. So I think I am going to dress her up as a cat. Maybe an angel not sure yet. I am basing it on whichever is easier. I know I seem to be contradicting myself by saying I don't care for Halloween then saying I want to dress Haddie up. The thing is we don't mind the fall decorations and things like that but we don't like all the creepy things that come along with Halloween. We are fine with dressing up long as it is appropriate and everything. When Haddie gets older I hope there will be a church near by that will be doing something so we can take her there and maybe around our little neighborhood if they even do anything around here. I think I have only seen one kid outside so far still in the age range for trick or treating. Well I just hope no one tries anything funny tomorrow. That is always my worst fear this time of year but this seems to be a very good neighborhood so I don't for see any problems. Well off to make Haddie some kitty ears :) I will try to remember to post pics tomorrow :)

Cleaning Schedule

After three years of marriage I finally made a schedule for cleaning. I am pretty sure my husband has been telling me I should do this for the whole three years or at least most of it. Not in a mean way or anything just in a this would be helpful to you kinda way. See I have this thing in my head that I have to do all the cleaning in one night then I am so burnt out that I don't want to clean for a year. Okay a year is a little exaggerated but you get my point. It is an ugly cycle which leaves my house in a usual mess. This of course drives me insane but that is going to change. I have my schedule to go by and things will be much easier. Thankfully all the dishes are done and there is only one load of laundry in the basket well it isn't even a full load yet so there is no point in wasting water on a small load when my husband is going to come home with his sweaty work clothes that need to be done by tomorrow afternoon. I feel good though the dishes are done pretty much all the laundry is done like I said above the stove is cleaned off to :) Now the cast iron pan is in the over I am trying to re-season it. Oh and I almost forgot the bed is even made with clean sheets. Not that clean sheets are a problem we try to wash the sheets every week. But I don't usually have the bed made. Although my Meme told me that she read in a magazine that it is better to not make your bed everday because dust mites I think it is can't live in cold environment or something like that. Okay well I don't remember what it was exactly but I know it is actually better to not always make your bed. Well I think I am going to go read and hopefully go to bed very soon :) Night All!
 Here is my schedule:

Starting to Feel More like Home

Josiah and I did some yard work the other day. There is still more to be done. We want to cut down a dead branch from a tree but we need to ask permission first. If that is approved we are going to plant a butterfly garden. I am very excited about this. We got the seeds yesterday so I can't wait til the ground is ready for us to plant them :) We have signed a lease for our house so that makes me feel more comfortable to truly unpack everything. There are still three or so boxes that need to be unpacked I was just kinda scared to get it done. I had it in my head that if I unpacked everything and made this house "my own" that someone would come and buy it and we would be out of luck. But we have a lease so that makes me feel much more secure. The house is still for sale and Josiah and I would love more than anything to buy it. Not in the cards yet though it is too much money for our budget, but hopefully one day it will be doable ( ya no idea if this is even considered a word but it gets used lol) :) Well I am going to go check on my little one. It seems like she fell asleep faster than normal which is good though, but I am going to go make sure that she is actually asleep. Plus I always check in on her anyway. She just looks so cute when she sleeps :)

My Two Cents

So I am bored so I thought I would give my two cents on cloth diapers. We have been using cloth diapers on and off for about 5 months and using them pretty steadily for 2 almost 3 months. I must say I love the one size diapers I think they are great. I also have to say that I hate snap closure diapers. I love the velcro closure diapers soooooo much better. The snap ones make little red marks on my babys back because I have to have it sorta tight in order for the diaper to fit properly and the way they are made makes then tighter in the back than in the front. The diapers I am using are a mixture of the BumGenuis 3.0 (love them!!!!) and a couple different brands my mother-in-law found cheaper on e-bay. They are good diapers and some of them are velcro so that is good. In my opinion thought BumGenuis is the way to go. Now some of my friends had some problems with them with their boys before they got to about 9 lbs. I have had great luck with my little girl. I don't think she had leaked out of any of her diapers unless we didn't put it tight enough or something like that. I am now using Charlie's Soap powder detergent. Before I was using the BumGenuis brand but I like Charlie's better and I get more soap for the same price. So I love the one size cloth diapers that have a velcro closure and they are easy to use. We still use disposable diapers at night cuz she does actually leak through the diapers at night I forgot about that. I know I can put different liners in at night but it is just easier for us to use the disposables. But ya I like them and they aren't s hard as I thought they would be. Especially when they get older and poop less..It gets much easier then :) I will try and put pics up of her dipaers later. I tried to but it wasn't working for some reason. So hope you like my rant :0)

And on and on it goes

Not too much to report as of late. Not a whole lot happens aroud here. A typical day is Josiah goes to work and I stay home and take care of Haddie. Then he gets home and we either stay home or go to the store if we need something. Yes scintillating I know I can barely stand it :) We do have a pretty comfortable routine going so that at least is nice. On a happier note Haddie is doing great. I need to make her a doctors appointment but I can't find the phone number. I have the address so I put that into google maps to get directions and hoping a website might be there to but I was unable to get directions. They asked my if I meant some other place that wasn't even in the same zip code. Yea Tucson has a few zip codes. But thankfully we live outside all the hubbub of the city :) Haddie will be 5 months in four days!!! I still can't believe how fast it is going. She is eating rice cereal and we have tried some other things in the supported sitter category she did not like sweet potatoes and she was sort of okay with green beens. She loves pears and is okay with peaches and she is okay with apples. I am very excited when Thanksgiving comes around and she can eat more solidfied food like mashed potatoes :) Gymn the kitten is doing well. He weights 3 pound now which is right on for being 3 months old. He is settling down which is very nice. I almost forgot. Our visit to the reservation went really well. They seemed much for open to us which was great and when work doesn't conflict we are going to go to the reservation by ourselves and Josiah will do the lesson. So things are looking pretty good there. Although October is a very big month for weddings here so Josiah has to work every Sunday of this month so that means no reservation this month. We can still go to church here though. It is kinda hard for me I like going to the reservation and everything but when I am there I miss our church in Tucson. Well I guess it will get better when we form more solid relationships with the family ( The Harris' plus the other lastnames I don't know of the married daughters lol).  Well Haddie is taking a nap so I should try and get the dishes done before she wakes up:) Here is a cute picture of how she fell aslseep this afternoon :)

And How...

Well it has been a while since I have posted anything. A lot has happened I started not feeling well ans had to go to the emergency room. Comes to find out that I had gal stones and an infection in my pancreas. The doctor thought I had passed a gal stone and that was what caused all the other mess. So I was then admitted to the hospital at 4am. I was there for about 5 days. I had an MRI the day after I was admitted to make sure the stone had passed, and it had so now it was time for surgery. I had my surgery thursday the 26th of august. The doctor told Josiah that my gal bladder was infected but it is gone now and all is fine. Thankfully my grandmother flew in the day I got out of the hospital and was here for  10 days and was a huge help. I got nervous about one of my incisions. I was afraid it was going to get or was already infected... I went to my two week check up though and she said everything looked fine. So I am doing well and healing just fine. In other news we just got a kitten. He is a cute little cat but he gets on my nerves a little cuz I have to take care of my baby and him at the same time. I get a little overwhelmed but it is okay he should hopefully calm down soon...I hope. Well the plan as I know it is that we are going to the reservation on Sunday. Please pray the women will be more open with me and well talk to me.. the kinds love Haddie though so that is great :) So life is going pretty well :) I really do love it here I just miss my friends a lot...but I will make new friends and make sure to keep in touch with the friends that are far away. I MISS YOU GUYS!!!!

Correction

Well I guess I have a correction to make about our first adventure. That started on June 9th 2007. That was the day we got married and became The Bohn's..well I became a Bohn he obviously was already a Bohn. This is gratefully an adventure we are still on :) The next big adventure happened almost three years later on May 12th. That was when our little miss was born...Hadassah Lorraine Bohn. Now we are a family of three!! She is only three months old but it has certainly been an event filled three months. But driving from Missouri to Maine and back then packing up the house and moving to Arizona well that about took it outta me. With a one month old at the time then a two month old by the time we got back yup we were sure tired. But it has all been worth it. I love the house we are renting and the church is great. The people that we have met have been really nice and helpful. We are very thankful for all the help we have recieved.

We did not make it to the reservation this week because there were not going to be many people there so the plan is that we will go this Sunday instead :) So lets hope it works out this time. Also if you could pray that Josiah can find an internship close by that would be great :) Thanks!

And So it Begins

The first Bohn family adventure would have to be moving from Missouri to Arizona. My husband feels called to do reservation missions and I feel called to support him in this as his wife. What better state for reservations than Arizona? That and the fact that my husband is originally from the southwest. We have been here almost three weeks and thanks be to God we already have a contact that has been to the reservation, and if all goes as planned we will be making our first trip out this Sunday. So please pray that all will go well and we will be accepted by the congregation that has already been established there, and that God will further bless our endeavors
